To all whom it may cancer rt:

Be it known that I, PETER PA-unsmi, a citizen of the United Sums.residing at Sfi'hleswig, in the county of (Jrawfoid and shes of Iowa;have invsiteu certain new 25nd iis'eful lmprovenieiitsin stochWeterers,or which the renewing is as specification;

This invention refutes to' stohlf wseeiersf the ltind in which itfottlry resrvoli'r or tank is mounted to turn :i'bout a hhrizontgrt axiswithin the ctrlsi'n", which is heii'ted to prevent water in e reservoirirom freezing during freezing weather. and which delivers to adrinkingtrou h in the lower'part of the casing to which access is hafdthrou hi suitzible openings' in the side of the cesi The object of fnvinvention is to wide a stock waterer of this class ii'l W'Ih thereservoir be filled without pr'oti'd'ifi a S eiel filhn' opehifi'gcbvi', an wi'tliout entirel remeving the cover of lift. ing it to avertical position or throwing it back freih its sitich shove thc'iising.

In the accomjfifsny'iifgi Figure 1 is e igerspebtifi e'viw of a smeltWa'te'rer el nbody' my A Fig. 2 shows a ve ses stews tl fellehf 6711 thethe 2-2 of Fig; 1. ,7 V

Fig. 3 shows a verti cafl selftioii line 3-3 of Fig. 1, the reservoirbeing in ifi li P iiis Fig. 5 shows a vertical section of the watererwith the reservoir in filling position.

Fig. 6 is a top plan view of the waterer shown in Fig. 5 with the coverpartially broken away.

Fig. 7 is a detail view showing the manher in which the reservoir ispivotally connected with the casing.

. 'Ifh casing I is for the most part closed. This provided with a dobr24; through which recess be her} to its interior and it is alsofirdvfded with openings 19 throu h which; success ma be hard by animalsto t e drmlnrrg trough. These openings are shielded by hoods 20 whichare hinged to the easmg at 2 1. A cover 2 is hinged to the casing at 3and may be raised and lowered by means or a suitable handle as shown inFig. I. rscise'd it mary be held open by means of a brace 4 pivotallyconnected with the casing in such manner that it may be turned to theposition shown in Fig. 5' to hole the cover open, or may be lowered tothe position shown in Fig. 3 to allow the other to helowerejd. Thedrinking trough 1'8 is supported in" any suitable manner in the lowertortioii of the casing; and lamps 2% are deployed for heatin the"interior of the casing in freezing west "or. The cylindries reservoir 6'is mounted within the casmg to t rn about a horizontsl axis. Prefersblyas shown {it sleeve 7 extends centrally through the reservoir andthrough this sleeve ensues s rod 8 supported by standards 9 Wlfil'fiflcasing and about which the wiservoif The reservoir may be held in finingwhe by meens of a catch 16 hinged to the casing and engaging, 8; loop 17on the peri he of! the reserv ir. The reservoir is hit in emptiesthrough an opening 10in its periphery. This opening is surrounded by ahood 11 which is divided into tWOCllfiihbersbw a. partitionorr'ciliarrhregm12. Theinnerehasmber communicates directly with the reservesthrhlugh the opening 10. The artiftioi'f 12 is provided with an o' fling14 which; when the reservoir is in *lling positters alldWs water su'p lyto the outer chamber I 4 to" pass to t e inner chamber affd thence w'thereservoir. The other 0' en.- mg is provided with a Short pipe 15 w iche'xtends'thfoughthe partition into the inner chamber his t6 the outerportion of the outer chamber. This Eiepe serves to transfiiitthptsshigrrafii 1s reservoir outward the opening 10. It will be observedthat the outer end of the pipe 15 is above any water level which mlghtbe produced in the outer chamber so that air will at all times freelypass through it. The hood is closed, as clearly indicated in thedrawings, and the outer wall 13 of the hood is spaced from the peripheryof the reservoir in such manner that it does not come in contact withthe hoods or shields 20 when the reservoir is being turned from fillingto feeding position or vice versa, it not being necessary to remove theshields or turn them either inward or outward to permit such movement ofthe reservoir.

After the reservoir has been filled, the catch 16 may be detached andthe reservoir may be lowered to the position shown in Fig. 3, itsdownward movement being arrested by a stop 22 of suitable construction.When in feeding position the outer portion of the hood is dlsposedwithin the trough 18, the pipe 15 being submerged and serving as aconduit of water from the reservoir to the trough while the opening 14serves for the escape of air. The loo 17 not only serves to providemeans for engaging the catch 16 with the reservoir, but may be used aS ahandle when lifting and lowering the reservoir.

It will be observed that when moving from feeding to filling position itis only necessary to give the reservoir a quarter turn from the positionshown in Fig. 3 to that shown in Fig. 5, and when thus turned the outerchamber is in osition to receive water supplied to it and it will alsobe observed that'by reason of this arrangement it is only necessary tolift the cover a short distance, and it is not necessary to provide thecover with a special filling opening.

In some cases the waterer may be used where a water supply systemthrough pipes is em )loyed, in Which case the pipe 25 may be le to theinterior of the trough and be provided with a valve 26 operated by afloat as indicated, which will automatically maintain a uniform waterlevel in the trough, but Where a water supply through a ipe svstem isnot available the waterer is lied through the hood in the manner beforeexplained.

I claim as my invention-:'

1. A stock water-er, comprising ancasing, a drinking trough supported inthe'lower portion of the easin aclo'sed cover for the oasing,' a braceor holding the cover in raised position, a cylindrical reservoir mountedwithin the easin to turn about a horizontal axis and provi ed with anopening in its eriphery for the flow of water, and a ho outsid'ethereservoir surrounding said Opening roVidBd with an inner closed chambercommunicating with the reservoir through said openin and an outer openchamber separated from the inner chamber by a partition above the waterline in the reservoir when the latter is in filling position and havingopenings for the passage of air and water, and means for holding thereservoir in filling position with the hood and partition projectinghorizontally from the reservoir.

2. A stock waterer, comprising a casing havin" openings in its sides,hoods protecting t iese openings, a drinking trough mounted in the lowerportion of the casing, a cover hinged to the casing, a brace for holdingthe cover in open position, a cylindrical reservoir mounted within thecasing to turn about a. horizontal axis, and having an opening in itsperiphery, a hood surrounding the opening extending laterally from thereservoir and having an inner closed chamber and an outer open chamberseparated from the inner chamber by a diaphragm havin openings in it forthe passage of air anc water, a pipe applied to one of said openingswhich opens into the inner chamber and extends through the outerchamber, and means for holding the reservoir in filling position withthe hood disposed in a horizontal plane at one side of the reservoir.

A stock waterer, comprising a casing, a drinking trough supported in thelower portion of the casing, a cylindrical reservoir mounted within thecasin to turn about a horizontal axis and rovi ed with an opening in itsperiphery for the flow of water, a hood outside the reservoirsurrounding said opening provided with an inner closed chambercommunicating with the reservoir through said opening, and an outer openchamber separated from the inner chamber by apartition located above thewater level of the reservoir when the latter is in filling position andhaving openings for the passage of air and water, a pipe applied to oneof said openings which 0 ens into the inner chamber and extends t roughthe outer chamber, and means for holding the reservoir in fillingposition with the hood disposed in a horizontal plane at one side of thereservoir and with said partition above the water level in thereservoir.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto subscribed my name.
